Sometimes I just can’t be surprising. That includes this countdown of songs with “heart” in the title. As I get close to the top you see “the usual suspects” showing up. That includes today’s entry. Oh, lookie who’s here.....
#4: The Heart of the Matter - Don Henley
You know, there’s a reason I love this guy’s music so much. I love his lyrics. I love his voice. And man, do I love this song.
Linked below is a live acoustic version from the Eagles’ Hell Freezes Over tour, which really highlights his voice and the song’s pain-filled lyrics. But it doesn’t matter. I think Henley could sing this awakened out of a dead sleep and nail it vocally.
Now you’re probably wondering what I like better than this? Oh, you know if you’ve read my stuff....
The Heart of the Matter
Written by Mike Campbell, Don Henley, and J.D. Souther
Recorded by Don Henley
From The End of the Innocence, 1989

I don't recognize this one. I must be out of the loop. What does "slope" mean?

It’s a joke...NJ always says she doesn’t know the songs I post, but I insist it’s “sorta nope” if she at least knows the singer...or slope.

Not having this classic on your list would be a "heartbreaker."
